at present
A series of paintings I am working on at present features a variety of characters I observe in contemporary as well as past visual culture artefacts. Trying to find my way in the reality around me I put them next to each other in consideration of human nature and how it shimmers, between the white of sublimity and the black of shadow, with a fascinating spectrum of hundreds of colours and thousands of shades.
